Buckland Hill, Cousley Wood, Wadhurst, East Sussex TN5

The property comprises an exceptional country house, located in an idyllic rural location, close to Bewl Water, between Wadhurst and Lamberhurst.

The accommodation extends to over 4,500 sq ft, arranged over three floors, with the space being well-balanced between formal and informal living areas.

The quality is very evident incorporating a feature staircase and a wealth of oak work, panelling and large domed windows.

A smart entrance hall leads to a series of reception rooms such as the spacious dining room, and drawing room which provides direct access out to the gardens. The principal rooms are light and bright and feature high ceiling heights and an impressive fireplace.

The large bespoke Stoneham kitchen is the focal point of the house being well equipped, with a central work island and fitted Miele appliances including multiple hobs, ovens, coffee machine and wine fridge.

A very generous utility room is also conveniently located off the kitchen and leads directly on to the drive.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the first and second floors. There is an impressively vast double aspect principal suite with views over the gardens, built-in storage and an en suite bathroom. There is a double bedroom next door that could easily be added as a dressing area. Situated off the large landing there are two further bedroom suites on the first floor.

Plumbing has been allowed for the installation of a kitchenette in one suite, ideal for staff or staying guests. All of the bedrooms are of a consistently good size and there is ample storage throughout the property.

The private south westerly facing flat garden is an important feature of the property, extending to approximately 1.2 acres, the majority of which is laid to lawn. Wrapping around the rear of the property is a paved area that connects the garden to the house extremely well and provides an excellent setting for al fresco dining.
